Asked the hotel for a better price and they reduced the Deluxe Room down from US$80 to US$68. They gave me their agent in Bali for a even cheaper price of US$60. I think if I had to do it again I would have stuck with the hotel price as it has been one nightmare transferring the money to their bank account. They don't do credit card out of the country. As the bank isn't affiliated with Westpac the money has to go via USA, Jarkarta and then to Bali with these banks probably taking a cut. I have only used Mida before and then I only had to pay her when we arrived. Checked with the hotel and they assured me everything was okay.
I don't think breakfast has improved much since we were there in 2004. Rockey is still there but Romeo has left.
